By using the following table, check each entity for correctness.
Name Value Range Default Value Explanation
[FlexConn Modbus protocol switch] <FlexConn-GPU>
<Modbus>
<FlexConn-GPU> If production-, test-,
configuration-, and/or
service tools are to be
used, switch to the
FlexConn protocol by
selecting
<FlexConn-GPU>.

[Turn around delay] <0..2000 ms> <0 ms> The turnaround delay is the
minimum time the HCI-
GPU waits, before starting
answering the host.
[Parity] <Odd>
<Even>
<None>
<Odd>

<One>
[Modbus slave address] <1..247> <1> On a site there can be
multiple gauges connected
via the RS-485 physical link
and hence different CAN-
RS boards can be identified
by unique slave addresses.
However, note that RS-485
supports only 32 devices
in multidrop and so must be
the addresses.
